Don't seem to be applicable to schools, which are in any case used and remembered by far more than "their friends and relatives". We're talking about institutions that (in the case of state public schools at least) have a pretty big footprint in the community.
But Tony, the claim (which is often made), and to which I was responding, was that Wikipedia had *no* notability policies. Clearly it does, though it doesn't specifically use the word "notability" to describe them. Whether or not schools are included/excluded by these notability rules is a continuing debate.
